BTW, when I lived in Connecticut, I was told that only Italians put colored lights up on their houses.

Mama mia, what is this world coming to??? I love looking at Christmas lights. We have four indoor trees that I put up each year alone.

I agree with Dr. E. If I lived in that town I would put outdoor lights all over the place-and I'd probably would make them all red and green this year just to make a point.

LOL, then you would probably be shunned or worse (maybe picketed) because you are using too much energy in a community that is becoming Greener each day. The folks running Fort Collins are looking to Environmentalists to bail out the city budget, by creating Green businesses here - even gaining a name for themselves in that arena.

OK, then I would use solar Christmas lights. :O)

ROFLOL, I pray you will have a sunny Christmas season.

Would help out me and millions of other colorblind people, don’t even get me started on those annoying LED indicators.

I always thought that evergreens decorated with red and green lights in December were called “Hannukah Bushes”.

Church hymns being dropped by children's choirs,
Jackboots dump red and green clothes,
corporate grinch sits around and conspires
To force "holiday Trees" on us at Lowe's

Don't you people know ? Some turkeys just banned mistletoe!!!
It makes some people feel uptight
Whiny snots! They're just mean Christophobes
I don't know how they sleep at night.

I guess that Santa's still OK;
Until some lawyer gets his way.
One with too much time on their hands will try
To get judges to ban traffic lights

I once could offer you this harmless phrase
But thanks to the ACLU
Because it offends many kinds, many ways
No "Merry Christmas" for you!!!

And so the PC cops have banned this phrase,
in retail stores and publik skools,
Because it offends, many kinds, many ways,
No "Merry Christmas" for you!!!

Is this one to be sung to the same tune as that immortal Christmas song that goes, “Chimpmunks roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost ripping out your nose, yuletide carolers being thrown on a fire......” ?

[Captainpaintball]

Certainly!

This is the most assinine thing I think I have heard of in my life.

Their thinking is, apparently, since many christians use red and green lights at christmas time, that red and green lights must have some religious significance. Well, I have been a christian all of my life, and I know of nothing in my religion that says a damned thing about colored lights. In fact, if lights on a christmas tree were tied to any sort of religion, it would be paganism, and historically, the lights they used to decorate trees were candles... which give off WHITE LIGHT.

If, simply because christians do a particular thing, that it automatically makes the thing they do a religious thing... well, every christian I have ever known also breathed oxygen. So there needs to be a law forbidding citizens of Ft Collins from breathing any oxygen. Four minutes after that.. all problems with this issue will be resolved.

Didn’t Christ wear white? If so then shouldn't white lights should be banned?
